Nemukula notes that the spike in demand is not necessarily due to buoyant commodity prices, but the result of unspent capital during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown period now being released onto the market. “The future of the forklift industry is electric. We are already seeing a gradual move away from internal combustion engines. Over time, only electric forklifts will operate across the breadth of the economy,” predicts Nemukula.
This is because electric forklifts represent a greener, cleaner, and safer energy source. Over their lifespan these forklifts are also far more cost-effective to operate. “Shumani’s focus is more on improving customer satisfaction using available technology,” adds Nemukula. Communication between technicians on-site and back-office staff is integral to ensure a seamless response to customer queries and any breakdown issues.
